How exactly does SpecialEffect help?
SpecialEffect helps young people with disabilities to use leisure technology in the following ways:
- By adapting, developing and modifying cutting edge technology – for example Eye-Controlled technology, a special strength of SpecialEffect.
- By helping young people to find the kinds of games they can play on the SpecialEffect GameBase whichever way they control the computer – from a switch to an Eye-Controlled computer.
- By supporting hospitals, hospices, special schools, etc. in finding the right leisure technology for those young people who need it most, when they need it most.
- By loaning specialised leisure technology to young people who have a sudden serious injury or illness.
Our team of specialist professionals have many years of experience in designing and adapting technology to help young people with physical and learning difficulties. Success with using this technology can lead to huge gains in self-confidence and motivation, and can provide a way for young people with disabilities to compete with others on a level playing field. We’re dedicated to providing the expertise necessary to enable everyone to enjoy the fun, friendship and challenges that can be found in the world of computer games and leisure.
